Authorities in Mills County, Iowa are trying to determine the identity of a body found in a ditch west of Glenwood. It is not that of missing UNO student Jessica O'Grady.

The remains were found in a ditch beside Glover Road, at the north end of Thomas Lake.

Sheriff Mack Taylor says it appears the death happened about a month ago. The body was found on Saturday.

Sheriff Taylor says detectives looked into all missing persons reports in Mills County and the body does not appear to be that of anyone named in those reports.

A Douglas County deputy says detectives determined that the body found in Mills County is not that of missing UNO student Jessica O'Grady. That determination was made based on identifying marks on the body.
